Norlan grinned as he clenched his fist, the power from that simple gesture compressing the spiritual energy around him like a physical force.
And that was when the true weight of his transformation began to sink in. The system notifications had detailed his evolution from Human to High Human, but seeing the stats laid bare on the screen made the reality hit much harder.
As a mortal human, the baseline for a normal person was a mere 10 stat points across the board, and reaching the Awakened realm required only 20 in each category, with the Awakened Master realm sitting at a manageable 500. Now, as a High Human, the starting line had been ripped away and redrawn entirely: a baseline High Human began at 50 stats just to exist, needed to hit that same 50 to become Awakened—which he had automatically achieved the moment his race ascended,and now faced a staggering requirement of 1,000 points in every single stat to break into the Awakened Master realm.
At first glance, the numbers seemed absurd, even punishing, but as Norlan stared at his own stats—Strength 50, Constitution 55, Vitality 60, and so on—the paradigm shift became clear. He was now an overwhelming force among humans, far exceeding their paltry 20-point Awakened threshold, he now stood as a newborn within an entirely superior species.
'Wait, does that mean that other species in Albera all have their own stat baseline? If this is true,then aren't normal humans are cooked if they set foot in Albera?'
"Don't overthink things so much. Physical stats don't mean much in higher realms unless one has an expression or dominion that enhances the body. But even so,the critical factors during a battle between cultivators will always be skill mastery and expressions mastery.
For instance,to become an awakened master,you need not only reach the stat requirements of your race,but also elevate one skill mastery to the level of master. To becyan awakened a skill has to be level 1 and to reach master realm,a skill has to be of level 10. So on so forth with a factor of ten to reach grandmaster realm and the rest."
Aurelia guided when she saw Norlan's inquisitive gaze.
"Does that mean I already have skills at level one?"
"Your resonance evolution and energy contradiction are already at level one. Resonance evolution will rise in mastery when energy contradiction rises in mastery. That is because energy contradiction is derived from my expression. That is also why Melon chose this skill to bestow to you. When energy contradiction rises,so does resonance evolution."
Norlan nodded and looked at his rewards. The special mission reward made his blood boil.Je couldn't wait to see what kind of good things he would get from the Tower.
As for now,he set his sights to the 99 free points waiting to be allocated, and a staggering 1,000,000 system points burning a hole in his virtual pocket.
If he chose to distribute those free points wisely, he could rocket one or two stats toward the 200 mark, solidifying his foothold in this new, more dangerous world, while the million system points promised access to resources, techniques, and artifacts within the Celestial Tower of Providence that were simply beyond the reach of ordinary humans. They would definitely come in handy.
"It's done my lady." Melon walked over to the two. She presented to boxes which she opened to reveal to sets of clothing. One was a regal violet attire while the other seemed like dojo training clothing. A black shirt and a white tunic like pants. Over both these was two coats. One more like an emperor's cape while the other more like a checkered Japanese kimono.
"These are both fitted with spacial runes,it's pockets can allow you to carry items in a separate dimension. The battle outfit has inscriptions for speed and agility while the regal attire contains the aura of divinity. They have many functions and will help you on your journey. Change into these before we set off to the teleportation portal. It's time you returned to the world of mortals." Melon handed the black shirt and white tunic pants respectively.
It was time to take part in the culling process.

Titus Grimblade was horrified when when his spirit had been pulled out of the territory Expansion with my Harem System forcefully. Was fate playing games with him? He was already so miserable while clinging to dear life as a system spirit. Now what did he do to deserve death.
He panicked. Fortunately, heaven was on his side and instead of being killed,he was presented an opportunity. An opportunity that he gladly accepted without any kind of persuasion.
He was bestowed a body, a new soul and spirit nourishing tonics that finally elevated his realm to the awakened realm. This was the realm he had been dreaming of since he was a child. It was due to this ambition that he had killed so many system users on earth. This same ambition that made him mad and crazy to attempt breaking through in a place devoid with enough spiritual energy.
But was the awakened realm enough? He had been given a mission. A mission to follow a young lord in conquest. A mission to follow a Lord that would take him to new heights of cultivation. And he was ecstatic.
Currently,he was clad in a navy blue suit that suited the status of steward. A butler of some sort.
He stood on top of a teleportation formation portal that have runes inscriptions all over its surface. He was already aware of the situation on earth as he had been briefed. And this formation was to take him back to earth together with his new master.
"present yourself. The goddess Aurelia and her envoy sacred Angel Hanna are here." A voice echoed in Titus's head. He adjusted his posture,his face facing the direction where there silhouettes were coming from. They were too far,he couldn't make out anything but their figures.
Unexpectedly,one looked familiar,and as the three got nearer and nearer to the portal platform,Titus could feel goosebumps surfacing his skin.
"It's that retard!" His mouth opened agape,he couldn't mistake that wavy hair. It was Norlan, his descendant. Next to him was a tanned brown lady that evoked reverence and worship the moment Titus layed eyes on her. He hurriedly bowed his head down. He couldn't afford to meet the gaze of a god realm cultivator.
'It seems the kid is moving up in the world.' He lampooned. Taking another look at the sacred level being that locked hands with Norlan with ambition and respect. He recognized her. It was this being that guided him inside his head. It was her that gave him a second chance. It was her that gave him guidance in cultivation and how to best take care of his new lord.
It was just that he did not expect his new master was Norlan! Just how did this kid gain the favor of a god?
And that was not all that left him aghast. No sooner had the three come into view than he saw the impossible and unthinkable. His mind went blank.
He saw the sacred being kiss Norlan on the cheek. He saw the goddess acting like a jealous teenage scholl girl as she pouted over the attention given to Melon instead of her.
His world overturned as he saw the goddess hurry to hold Norlan in her embrace as she showered him with kisses like a puppy in love.
He couldn't believe his eyes. He fainted. He fainted the moment he thought of what could have happened in closed doors.
One could not be blasphemous towards a god. Not even in one's thoughts.
Kick! Another kick!
Titus woke up due to the thud by his side. A wavy black haired Norlan looked at him incredulously.
"Wake up you stupid retard! It's time to go"
A warm warping sensation overwhelmed Titus as he stood up. A crimson glow covered the two as blue threads crisscross the platform to form a vortex that made the spiritual energy around them sparse.
"You coming?" Norlan spoke,taking the first step into the teleportation portal.
It was time to go home
